"mornings on 2" starts right now. well, good morning. welcome to "mornings on 2". i'm dave clark. >> i'm tori campbell. it's wednesday, january 2nd. developing news from the east bay we've been following since 4:30 this morning. a water main break on jackson. ktvu's alex savidge was first on the scene and joins us to tell us when crews expect to have the water shut off.

it was supposed to be at 7:00. but that's no longer the case? >> reporter: that's correct. the time frame, obviously being pushed back. it's a very complicated process from what i understand as they are still trying to isolate where the break is on this underground water line and what those workers are doing from the city of hayward's water department, they are checking the valves near this intersection trying to see which one of them will shut off the water. obviously they haven't found it yet. lanes of traffic are closed down. more of them have opened up. so cars are coming through. this is jackson and santa clara streets. as you can see, it's right near the ent transto 880 -- entrance to 880. water is still running down the street. this is what it looked like when this 12-inch line ruptured. firefighters were called in to cut off the flow of water. it wasn't a simple fix.

so apparently, the water department had to be called in. a police lieutenant is hoping to open more lanes of traffic here at this intersection once the where -- once the where the is shut off. >> we need to open up the intersection for the commute hour. what they are trying to do right now is actually locate where in the pipe the break is so at least shut the water down and repair the pipe is secondary. >> reporter: meantime, while all of this repair work is taking place and crews try to shut off the water, the lieutenant says water service has not been impacted in this area. there have been no interruptions for homes and businesses nearby. there's no flooding in the area, which is good news, given the amount of water that was coming out of this line. the police lieutenant says once the crews can get the water shut off and control the flow, there will still be repair work need to be done. the crews need to get in there

and figure out where the line was ruptured and then it will take time to repair the it. live in this morning in hayward, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> i'm gonna throw in alternate routes. this is very close to interstate 880. i want to put up a map here and show you the best way to avoid this is not to use 92 into hayward, jackson street. get on the freeway and go one exit north and use winton avenue. you can get to downtown hayward that way. if you want to go south and use tenmy son. the key avoid using jackson after 880 because there will be delays. they should go away later today. right now, it's a good alternate to use winton avenue. we'll have more traffic in just a few minutes. back to the desk. thank you, sal. happening right now, president obama has just arrived in

hawaii. these are live pictures right now of what looks like the top of the president's head about to get in a limousine. his -- the back of the plane, the stairs there right in the background. the president left washington, d.c. late last night right after the house of representatives approved legislation averting the fiscal cliff. the president is now going to rejoin his family. he cut his vacation short. he returned to washington, d.c. from the family vacation in hawaii. he returned on thursday in order to deal with the fiscal cliff. and we are still, by the way, waiting to hear exactly when the president will sign the deal. once again, live pictures. the president has just arrived in hawaii, and it looks like his suv there, right in front of air force one will be pulling away shortly from the tarmac and taking him back to a private rented villa where he's staying with his wife and two daughters and other family members. staying there for at least a few more days before coming back to washington, d.c. to return to the business athand.

live pictures from honolulu, hawaii there. still very early in the morning. meanwhile, the house of representatives managed to pass the senate bill that protects 99% of americans from an income tax increase. >> the central premise of my campaign was to change the tax code that was too skewed to the wealthy, at the expense of working middle-class americans. tonight we've done that. >> and again, there's no word yet on when president obama will sign the bill. here's some provisions -- a permanent extension of previous tax cuts for all taxpayers except individuals making more than $400,000 a year or couples making more than $450,000. the bill continues unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless for another year. it postpones decisions on controversial spending cuts for

two months as well as the debt ceiling and current federal budget. more debate expected ahead and more possible fiscal cliffs that the government will have to deal with. >> the u.s. stock exchanges are reacting to the deal in a very positive way. the dow is currently up 261 points, at 13,365. that's exactly 2% up. the nasdaq is up 2.5%, up 77. s&p is also up, 29. asia markets were the first to re-- first to the react. hong kong closed with a nearly 3%. south korea, 1.7. australia and taiwan were 1% on the news and european markets have been up all day. 7:07. even though congress took action to avert income tax hikes on most americans, your

jimmy -- jamie dupree is live with a rundown of the winners and losers in the process now that a deal is done, at least for now, jamie. >> reporter: yeah. you know, tori, i think the definition of who is the winner depends on what side of the political football you are on. it's really interesting. some think the republicans gave

up everything and caved and that the republicans did an awful job. on the flip side, you can find a lot of liberal and labor groups who are going ballistic. they think the president sold them out and gave too much to republicans. so very, very interesting to go into these two parallels today and hear both sides saying they think the other got the better of them. a lot of democrats feel like it's a good idea. a lot of republicans liking the tax agreement but wanting more upon budget cuts. we'll have more fiscal cliffs coming up. >> i want to talk about what. but going back to both sides being unhappy. that's the critical definition of a good deal, right, that -- >> reporter: well, at least a compromise. you are absolutely right. that's what we thought from the beginning. both sides if they are grumbling about it -- i think in some ways, look, the republicans were able to attain

something. >> now, republicans were able to get the income threshold raised to about $400,000 for an individual, $450,000 a family. that was much higher than the $250,000 proposed by the president. some republicans still think that even though they were able to get so much of that made permanent that it still really wasn't a vict, for them. there is a -- victory for them. a lot of democrats didn't like that. >> we're losing a little bit of your audio. i -- there's basically three more fiscal cliffs that congress is facing right now, right? >> reporter: the debt limit in february. the automatic march and the third is a temporary budget runs out -- runs out at the end

of march. that will present more situations and battling. it might be a very rough start to the new year in terms of political battling between democrats and republicans. of course, the white house, as well. >> all right. jamie dupree, joining us live from washington, d.c. you can find a link to jamie's blog at ktvu.com. pull down the news bar. all right, tori. 7:20. for the first time there is a new study that says fructose sugar may make you overeat. tests show that fructose, a type of sugar can cause changes in the brain that make you overeat the -- overeat. it found drinking a beverage with fructose, the brain does not register the feeling of being full like with other simple sugars. although the study doesn't prove it causes obesity, it does add to the evidence it may

throughout this entire neighborhood. we understand from one of the workers i talked with that a couple of hundred people may be without water as this repair work takes place. meantime, there's still several lanes of traffic blocked off at this intersection. we're at jackson and santa clara in hayward. here was the scene as water gushed from the road. this was a 12-inch main that ruptured just after 3:30 this morning. now, initially firefighters tried to cut off the flow. it wasn't a simple fix. so the water department had to be called in. crews were using a special cool called a valve key and check valves, turn those off and eventually stop the flow of water. you can see a couple of lanes of traffic are still blocked off. repair work will be taking place for a few more hours. this is near the entertains of 880. you will like -- entrance of 880. you will likely want to avoid

that area. how about alternate routes? well, sal castanedo has some of those. >> it is a good aia to avoid. it's close -- it is a good area to avoid. go up to 880, get off at winton area avenue. avenue-- get off at winton avenue. we did get a little bit bucky that today, lighter volume traffic. that's a better alternate. you can use tennyson and avoid jackson street. let's go back to the desk. all right, sal. repair crews worked all night to fix another water main break. this one on mt. diablo and salvio street. officials say no one lost their water. no homes or businesses were damaged. the crews finished fixing the

break about an hour ago. president obama arrived back in hawaii to rejoin his family vacation. this is video of the president arriving in honolulu this morning. actually, i'm wonder if that might be him leaving since he's getting on a plane. but he made the overnight trip after the house of representatives passed a late- night bill to avoid the fiscal cliff. >> thanks to the votes of democrats and republicans, i will sign a law that raises taxes on the wealthy. >> i wish i could say this was a proud moment, a moment in which we started the new year off right in which the 1st of january was the first of many good thins. it isn't. we're kicking the can down the road. >> the white house had no immediate update on when the president would receive and sign the bill. tomorrow new members of congress, though, will be sworn in. here's some of the provisions

of the deal passed last night. a permanent extension of previous tax cuts for all payers except for individuals making $had00,000 or couples making more than $450,000 -- making more than $400,000 or couples making more than $450,000. they will have to face at least three more fiscal cliffs. they will have to resolve the issues this last-minute deal did not address. 8:03. well, the action that congress took late last night to prevent income tax for most americans does not mean your paycheck is safe. ktvu's janine de la vega is in san jose right now to tell us why your next paycheck will still be smaller because the payroll tax holiday is ending. >> reporter: many people are surprised to hear that this payroll tax cut is expiring. analysts say this will but some strain on the economy because

the less money people take home, the less they will spend. the average family making $50,000 a year will see their paychecks drop by $1,000 a year. the average family making $75,000 a year will see $1500 less a year and the average making $100,000 a year will see a decrease of $2,000 annually. now, one man we spoke to this morning said he did not know this would affect his paycheck and he says he doesn't like this. >> it will be a little bit hard. it will be difficult. i mean, we just have to survive like we have been. p penny-pinch, as they say. >> reporter: for the past few years, americans were enjoying a boost in their paychecks. the social security tax was lowered to 4.2%. now it's downing back to 6.2%. it was originally put in place

in 2010 as a way to boost the economy. the ending of this tax holiday was not even a bargaining tool because congress was focused on spending cuts and larger tax hikes. reporting live from san jose, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. 8:04. well, san francisco school students who eat school lunches are about to eat healthier. starting on monday, san francisco unified school district will introduce a new lunch menu provided by revolution foods. no more frozen foods, no more mystery meat. revolution foods say they make meals using local ingredients. no high-fuke dose corn syrup and nothing is -- no high- fructose corn syrup and nothing is frozen. a new study finds a few extra pounds may not be bad to your health but the risk of death does rise substantially for those who are obese. researchers at the us centers for disease control analyzed 97

studies involving almost 3 million people worldwide. they found people with a body mass index considered moderately overweight had a 6% chance of death. but those with a higher bmi had a 29% higher chance of death. a bmi of 29 to 30 is considered overweight. i think 20, 25 is considered normal. >> why were you looking at me when you were talking about that. >> i was not looking at you. i was looking at the camera. [laughter] sal's back. i thought you were gonna fix the traffic. >> well, traffic is looking bloating all of a sudden we have slow traffic. i think it's been building up from an earlier crash that we had southbound at 23rd. now there's very, very traffic. i think something has to be wrong here because as i look at

this, this got heavy very quickly. i'm looking at the chp to see what's going on. sometimes they lag in putting it up there. something is wrong on 880. use 580 as an alternate. let's move along and take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. it's light there. i want to mention that the best way to get to downtown hayward is not to use jackson street at 92. get on 880 northbound and use winton instead. let's go to steve. clear skies, cold, cold this morning. now, by the coast and bay, not as bad. had a little bit of a south breeze. mainly 40s, but there's still 40s for many and 20s for a lot. cold, sunny, warmer. high clouds, cool to mild. that's about the extent of anything. i think for a while here. it looks quiet in the extended. many people e-mail me. seven, ten days out, not much. if looks like a dry pattern. that could always change. everything is pointing towards a continuation of the current

pattern which is to bring the systems in and rip them apart. so southern california may be in line more so than us even though these are weak systems. 27 santa rosa, 38 napa airport. a breeze must have picked up. starting to rebound off some of the lows. a lot of 20s, 30s and a few 40s boulder creek, sebastopol, 25. a lot of upper 20s around san jose, saratoga. freeze warning, frost advisory for another 52 minutes. at 9:00 things will change. that will end. 28 in clearlake, 29 in sacramento. 26 in redding. cold air in place, top to bottom here. in fact, this system coming in won't do anything. it's absolutely falling apart. low going south. storm track is not over us. it will be a dry pattern for a while. definitely for a week, i think. sunshine, light breeze and a little warmer on the afternoon

highs. how about that? so temperatures will come up a little bit. kind of tough when you are 27, 28. you get above about 54, 55. some locations are bringing in the low 50s. but temperatures again, each day i think will come up a couple of degrees. nothing outrageous. 57 san jose and also santa clara. low to mid-50s along the san mateo coast, peninsula and in the city. higher clouds tomorrow. that will be about it. and then another sunny, bright day on friday and then increasing clouds on the weekend. i think the system will do the same thing, give us clouds and not much else. a new york city bus terminal has reopened. there was a natural gas scare just hours ago. now, that terminal down there, it was evacuated about 5:00 a.m. our time. people said it was a strong smell of gas. the building was ventilated and it reopened about 45 minutes later. luckily no one was hurt but traffic in that area was affected because of all of the

when he played against the ravens. ravens later cut him. then he signed with the redskins and was released after five games. fred, that was a great game yesterday. what was it like for you watching it from the side lines? >> reporter: you know, it was spenceful. i mean, there wasn't a -- suspenseful. i mean, there wasn't a lot of drama going on in terms of exciting plays. if you look at the game, stanford jumped right out to a big lead. they scored twice on their first two possessions and had almost half of their total yards in the first two possessions combined. after that, there was a punt fest. there was 13 punts in the game. i give credit to stanford. went right down on the first

possession, 80 yards, a touchdown, a great catch, a great run. they came right back and scored again on another long drive and after that, it was up to their defense and the defense won the game for them in the second half. it was only a 3-0 game in the second half. stanford scored the only three points of the second half if you can believe that. stanford has done it this way. andrew luck is now playing for the indianapolis colts. they aren't going to score 35, 40. they are gonna have to rely on their defense and that's what any did yesterday. they held ball of wisconsin, it was voted top in the nation -- he was voted the top in the nation, wisconsin never turns the ball
